so... i think i have realized something that may determine the fate of this and/or other blogs. what i have realized is that i really like writing my thoughts in paper journals. true, there are some thoughts that i desperately want to share with people, e.g. the entries on www.yabvonstrab.com, but the rest of them could perfectly well be confidential. except that there's a mysterious pull to receive comments on everything i think... but i believe this pull should be overcome. i feel sort of childish (nothing against those of you who keep blogs and/or live for comments... people do things for different reasons).

therefore, it may be time to switch the contents (past and future) of this blog to paper and let the other blog take over with things i have a pressing need to share.

on a different note, i had bewildering dreams last night! but not bewildering... it seemed like every bizarre thing someone did was an allegory for my conception of that person and/or our relationship. brains are weird.

story of my life: piano recital in a week, not feeling prepared, trying to suppress panic attack, etc.

someday i would like to be a mature enough musician (and/or person?) that these stressers don't affect me. i think i am not nearly chill enough.

i've been reading (auf Deutsch!) the wilhelm müller poems that schubert set to music... for the first time, i have an appreciation for them in german, even though the vocabulary is still too advanced for me. this is an exciting milestone for me, given my reasons for studying german in the first place.

"der leiermann" is pretty interesting. (i can't link directly to this site, but it's the last one of the cycle.) also, i find "tränenregen" to be quite moving. the irony is so tragic.

berlin: 3 days and counting!
